![]() ![]() This also causes the js counter to reset to its original value, as the page is 'reloading' in a way. ![]() When the user clicks a button further down in the form, the form generates more fields. I have a js counter which keeps track of how many chars are in a field on an asp form. This is not an online form, so all time/date of birth details can be set in the script.įunction ElapsedTime(inFromDate,inToDate) I would like this for at least four children, but the possibility to add more later by copying some code would be great. Maybe the script can allow you to choose which values to show? The code below also shows weeks, which is up to you to use or not. The hours, minutes, and seconds, would be great, but is of course optional. Is that possible? Or maybe I have to recalculate their GMT (Greenwhich time zone) birth time for that to work, or maybe the time zone of the server? How can we make that accurate? I also would like the possibility to consider the time differences between the places they were born and the time zone the web page viewer is in. Please note that since Mary is less than a year old, the 0 year value does not show. Lindy is 03 years, 11 months, 24 days, 23 hours, 44 minutes, 23 seconds old.Īnd the clocks keep ticking and counting up. Picture Chris born in Melbourne, AustraliaĬhris is 04 years, 02 months, 03 days, 01 hours, 06 minutes, 12 seconds old. Mary is 08 months, 12 days, 14 hours, 02 minutes, 53 seconds old. John is 10 years, 03 months, 16 days, 12 hours, 14 minutes, 03 seconds old. The thing is that I want one page with all the children listed. That code works for one person/age only and includes weeks. There are plenty of countup counters etc, but mostly count days, and those that do count age are single use only. can anyone guide me how to go about it please And I am not loo. I have searched on internet and nothing seems to get close to the below functionality. Id like to make a couple of timer widgets triggered by any event. I do not know javascript well (I recognize some code) and know a little of html. I want to display below each child picture the age clock/counter of the child. I am looking for a multiple countup or age timer within a html page (using javascript). If you find other uses for the Count Up Timer, please use the feedback form beneath the calculator to let me know. How long have I been working on this billable project, and how much have I earned?.How long have I been clean (a.k.a., clean-time calculator)?.How long since I quit smoking, and how much money have I saved?.How long since my last drink (a.k.a., sobriety calculator)?.Here are just a few ideas for using the count up timer to count up from a special occasion or event: Note that if you would like to count down to future date and time, please visit the Count Down Calculator. Plus, if the past event resulted in periodic savings or earnings (like the savings from quitting smoking or the earnings from working on billable projects), the count up timer will even count the money you have saved or earned since the start date and time. Simply enter the date and time of a past event and the count up timer will generate a timer that will begin counting up from the event's date and time.Īnd not only will the calculator count up the time in years, months, days, hours, minutes, and seconds, but it will also give the total time stated in each of those time units. ![]()

![]() ![]() So I don’t know if I’d consider it greed as much in this particular case. ![]() And yet they still managed to purchase Intellibed. And every company needs to make profits to stay in business- especially a publicly traded one.īut as I mentioned with Purple- despite their costs and unknown profit margins they were still losing money for years - until just the last few months they finally finished a quarter in the green/ positive earnings. Meaning if it costs 1200 to make the mattress in materials, then they need to mark it up to pay for rent, other resources, shipping, etc and pay employees and for the company to put a little aside for future projects (profits). I don’t know if that’s baked into that figure you mentioned though, but I would guess no. Hmmm I don’t know the actual “at cost” for that item- that may be correct and that might be what they buy it at from Intellibed (I’d kinda be surprised) but if they do though, they still have to make profits to pay for overhead and pay out wages. Then again there are different ways to look at “worth”.Įdit: forgot to mention purple was largely unprofitable for years and only managed profits for their most recent quarter - have to see how that plays out. Hopefully in time their prices will eventually start to come down. Not to mention risking patent infringement like what was happening between these two companies. The Purple Mattress, or simply The Purple, is an all-foam mattresswith no springs, that uses Purple’s exclusive grid layer that uses a hyper-elastic polymer. So it’s probably very hard to make a cheaper priced product especially without a large investment to make similar machines. Purple was making the grid mattress far cheaper than Intellibed- but for one, by eliminating layers of grid. It’s also another reason why no one else has really tried to make a product in direct competition. I’m not quite sure how they were manufacturing Intellibed before the acquisition but I’ve read that purple spent many millions developing their own unique machines capable of making their mattresses ( and they built a few - as well as spent more building a new Max version).Ĭombined with cost of patents, all American production and labor costs, the cost of shipping and eating the cost of returned mattresses and growing pains with warranty claims, a few settlement claims ( couple injuries and one death) resulting from their machines, they are considerably more expensive than other products on the market. I think most people don’t realize exactly how much it costs to make a mattress like this. ![]() ![]() I have an amazing nanny and my husband is very involved in helping raise our girls.Īside from your restaurants, where do you love to eat out in LA? On the weekends I try to be with them as much as I can. We have the morning together and I try to get home early two days a week so that we can have dinner together and do something fun. I work a lot but when I am home I try to put everything aside and be with my girls. I don’t feel terribly stressed by it all. I get asked this a lot and I am not sure how to answer it.

Owning a restaurant you have to be ready to work hard, make changes, and think on your toes. ![]() I have always embraced change and been willing to implement better systems. I would say that I just put my head down and worked so hard. My husband was a huge help with the banks and the real estate. It was my first construction project ever and there was a steep learning curve. I had to figure out who would build and help me design the space. There was a lot that went into making it happen. We found this location on Ocean Park and it just clicked. That is where Thyme Café & Market came along. I loved the catering and had always wanted a café in conjunction with the catering. I was ready to grow and legitimize the business. ![]() ![]() It grew every year and I was definitely in need of more space. I had a catering company for 4 years before I opened Thyme.

This just shows the unwavering support of regular crypto enthusiasts. It’s like a tokenized representation of a movement that celebrates everyday people and their accomplishments, breaking away from traditional capitalist norms.Ĭurrently, Wall Street Memes is in its presale phase, and despite being a meme coin, it has managed to attract a massive multi-million-dollar investment. Wall Street Memes ($WSM) is a cryptocurrency that embodies the essence of the Wall Street Bets movement and is creating quite a buzz. Wall Street Memes – Ride the Wave of a Revolutionary Movement in the Presale Phase So, let’s dive into these alternative options and see what they have to offer. With concerns over ADA’s price rebounding, investors are now exploring other promising cryptocurrencies that are generating buzz in the market. While other coins are making a comeback, ADA is still stuck in a slump. But sadly, ADA isn’t doing so great in the market right now. They’re determined to work with regulators to sort out this legal confusion. The SEC named it as a potential security, and that has sparked some heated discussions among investors.īut the Cardano Foundation isn’t backing down! They took to Twitter to give the SEC a piece of their mind, saying that ADA is definitely not a security. ![]() What’s interesting is that Cardano (ADA) also got caught up in this mess. The SEC has thrown lawsuits at popular exchanges like Binance and Coinbase. ADA’s Slump Sparks Interest While Other Hot Cryptocurrencies Gain Momentum But let’s dive deeper into Cardano first. Coins like Wall Street Memes, AiDoge, DeeLance, Ecoterra, Launchpad, yPredict, Copium Club, and SpongeBob Token have been making waves and can potentially bring you some impressive profits. However, amidst all the confusion, there are other cryptocurrencies that haven’t been affected by the SEC lawsuit drama. People are naturally wondering whether ADA will crash to zero or if it will eventually bounce back. These charges have had a significant impact on staking tokens and have left many investors feeling uncertain. The popular crypto Cardano (ADA) has been facing some challenges lately, mainly due to the recent security charges filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). ![]() ![]() It has, for perhaps 4,000 years, been used by falconers because of its skill in capturing game birds in tandem hunts with humans. They are one of Oregon's boldest raptors, and have been observed usurping active Golden eagle nest sites, stealing fish from Ospreys and ground squirrels from adult Bald eagles who stray into their territory. They are described as the fastest animal on the planet, and have been recorded reaching speeds in excess of 240 miles an hour in dives after prey. Peregrine falcons are among the most charismatic and noted of the world's birds. The American kestrel breeds statewide in open terrain from sea level to the alpine zone in the mountains. These birds soar with their long and pointed wings flat, and regularly hover over open and partly open country with scattered trees, including cultivated lands and occasionally suburban areas. Females are slightly larger than males and have reddish-brown backs and upper wing coverts that are barred with dark brown. Juvenile males are similar to adult males but have heavily streaked breasts. The tail has a wide black subterminal band. Adult males have rufous backs and tails with blue-grey upper wing coverts. It has two considerably different plumages: adult male and female and juvenile males differ somewhat from adult males until post-juvenile mold in fall. Formerly known in American literature as the Sparrow hawk, this is the smallest (dove-sized) and most familiar and abundant member of the family Falconidae in North America and one of the easiest raptors to observe. ![]() ![]() A war which ironically, owes its origination to a debt and argument over a mere three gold coins. Both of which at this very moment, prepare for war. The great blessed kingdom of prosperity has splintered, breaking into distinct northern and southern factions. From highborn to lowborn, people have become obsessed with material things. Chaos and mistrust have infected the entire land. The geyser would lurk in the shadows of men and corrupt his most basic nature, poisoning his mind and his very soul with greed and envy.Ī decade later, Isilmerald teeters on the brink of a precipice. The devil-god and goddess of greed, unleashed the Black Geyser upon Yerengal, determined to rekindle the darkness in mankind’s heart.īut unlike fear, which had already been openly opposed and conquered, the Black Geyser would work far more subtly and to far more catastrophic ends. A staggering achievement of the dark arts, the Black Geyser personified the darkest, coldest aspects of their natures sat poised to undo the world of men. Together in their union, Rothgor and Zornilsa, assembled a horrible creation they referred to as the Black Geyser. The devil-god saw vast potential in the faltering slender goddess and greeted her with open frail arms. Words which revealed a cold malevolent spirit that matched Rothgor’s own. ![]() Defiant in spite of her predictament, Zornilsa spoke with bold, passionate words. But unlike the devil-god who lived eternal, Zornilsa would fade from existence if man kept to his current course.Īlthough Zornilsa appeared physically young and beautiful the devil-god could see her lifeforce weakening before him. For in the Yerengal’s harmonious state, very few mortal followers worshiped Zornilsa, goddess of greed. Dressed in black, with pale skin and piercing grey eyes the woman stood before Rothgor suffering from the same ailment that afflicted the devil god-her influence and power had dwindled in the world. A seemingly human female of little stature and consequence. Though his heart overflowed with hate more so than ever before, Rothgor became sickly and weak.Ĭonfined to his throne of bones, in a most humbling state, an unexpected visitor appeared before the devil-god. And with the waning darkness fleeing mens’ heart, so to did the devil-god’s followers diminish. The land ruled by pure mortal lineage, thrived in a new dawn, blessed by the two supreme gods Alnarius, the king-god of love and harmony and Tilindia, the Green Mother, goddess of nature.Īs the races of the world focused their efforts on supporting each other and finding harmony with nature, fear all but vanished. A peace that flourished beyond imagination in one Kingdom above all others-the kingdom of Isilmerald. With the beast vanquished, peace and prosperity came to Yerengal once more. Shrouded in a pit of darkness for all eternity, the Xurxur beast would interfere with mortal lives no more. As long as the Xurxur lived, men would know nightmares and fear the dark.įor hundreds of years, the horrific Xurxur terrorized Yerengal, until one day a group of mighty adventurers, bound together in friendship and courage, exiled the beast to the bottom of the Zarndur sea.

Beasts that ran on hoofed feet, flew on great leathery wings and swam with spiny, razor sharp fins. Rothgor, the devil-god of pain and destruction, has sent forth countless beastly minions to wreck havoc on the mortal world of Yerengal.

Garp teamed up with the then future Pirate King, Gol D. Thirty-eight years ago, they attacked several World Nobles and their slaves on God Valley. They went on to become the strongest crew of their time, to the point of threatening the World Government itself. Īt some point in the past, the crew was formed on Hachinosu. The ship's design appears to be a fourth-rate ship-of-the-line with carrack rigging. The stern appears to be decorated as well, with three huge lanterns topped by the crew's Jolly Rogers protruding from the top. In Kaidou's flashback, the crew had a ship with dark colored sails except for the mizzenmast sail at the rear of the ship. The crew had at least one ship with a dark colored sail, with the word "ROCKS" written on it in light colored letters, the "O" was designed to look like a burning skull, and it had a figure head of a corpse. Eventually, it took the combined strength of Gol D. They were without a doubt the strongest pirate crew of their time. The Rocks Pirates were an extremely powerful crew with amazing potential and were regarded as a threat to the entire world. He said it was a group of people who were not the type to serve others, and that he had plenty of bad experiences there. Įdward Newgate briefly described his time in the crew when talking to Kozuki Oden. However, according to Sengoku, the Rocks Pirates were very violent and vicious as they would kill friends and foes alike, and their lack of camaraderie caused crew members to kill each other constantly, even while at sea.īecause of the poor relationship with each other, the Rocks Pirates members tend to downplay their time together to the rest of the world, coupled with the World Government covering up their actions, the crew became relatively unknown to the next generation. Their mutual quest for fame and fortune led to the formation of the crew. The organization was founded by a dangerous band of pirates who gathered at Hachinosu. Other notable members include a supposedly infamous individual known by the name of " Silver Axe" ( 銀斧, Ginbu ?) though like Ochoku they are not as well known.

They were the perfect movie snack and were often bought before heading in to catch the latest blockbuster. They were released as part of the Hershey’s Bites line, which included Rolo, Kit Kat, York Peppermint Patty, and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. The small chocolate-coated spheres were filled with the peanut butter filling we all know and love and were on their way to becoming very successful in the marketplace. Introduced in the late 1990s by Hershey, Reese’s Bites were the perfect way to enjoy Reese’s in a more “practical” manner. And one that looked like a sure fire hit was Reese’s Bites. As classic as candy gets, Reese’s has seen a lot of variations and a lot of shapes over the years. Peanut butter and chocolate are one of the best sweet and salty combinations out there, and when you think about peanut butter cups, it’s hard not to think of Reese’s. Not only did Munch ‘Ems have to compete with other cracker companies, but also with generic store brands who could replicate them, almost to a T. Even though the failure of Munch ‘Ems wasn’t such a big deal for Keebler’s financial status, it was a very big deal to everyone who loved and cherished those little crunchy crackers. ![]() Their silent departure left a lot of angry fans desperate to find out why, oh why they had gone away. While these sound like they would be amazing, they didn’t make it very far in the snack world and were discontinued in the early 2000s. They came in an array of flavors, which included Chill Cheese, Sour Cream and Onion, and Ranch and Cheddar. Munch ‘Ems combined the crispy texture of a potato chip with the delicious flavor of Keebler’s signature snack crackers. These super popular crackers were basically a winning snack combo that would most likely be a huge hit today as well. However, there is one snack that is not nearly talked about enough, and that’s the Munch ‘Ems. From chocolate cookies to ice cream cones, these little elves have been busy. Over the years, Keebler has provided us with some pretty iconic and tasty snacks. Whatever it was, it’s gone now, and it is still greatly missed today. Or maybe people didn’t want to give up the possibility of dousing their Oreos in milk without fear of breaking the glass. Perhaps it was because of its ridiculous size. Other types of Oreos have tried to take the Big Stuf’s spot, but none has yet to fill its very large shoes. There are no known reasons why this enormous cookie was discontinued. After a lot of tears were shed and questions left unanswered, Oreo Big Stuf slowly drifted into oblivion, but not for the hardcore fans. As much as these were adored and frequently bought, they mysteriously disappeared only seven years later. ![]() It gave a whole new meaning to saying you’ll just have one Oreo, that’s for sure. As if a high-calorie count wasn’t enough, it was also said to take 20 minutes to finish eating. Made by Nabisco, this gigantic Oreo was sold individually wrapped in boxes of ten and came in at just over 300 calories for one single cookie. And what could possibly be better than an Oreo, you ask? Well, how about a giant Oreo almost as big as your head?

See the DVD for the rigged demo mesh from this section.įigure 7.81 The posed mesh in low-res view This will create a new posed ZTool in the Tool menu. When you are happy with the posed mesh, you can create a new posed ZTool with all your subdivision levels by clicking Tool + Adaptive Skin + Make Adaptive Skin. This will cause the preview mesh to remember the high-res details once it’s posed.ĩ. While the high-res mesh is displayed, make a mark on it with a sculpting brush. Preview the mesh by pressing Shift and the Preview button at the same time. Set the Density slider under Tool + Adaptive Skin to the same number of subdivisions as the original ZTool. To make sure your posed mesh retains its high-res details, follow this procedure. Make a small mark anywhere on the preview mesh with one of the sculpting brushes.įigure 7.79 Extra ZSpheres in the torso help maintain the volume of the ribcage.įigure 7.80 From the side view, move the ZSphere joints into place. ![]() Click the Preview button while holding the Shift key and your high-res preview will appear. To do this, open the Tool ^ Adaptive Skin menu and set the Density slider to the same number of subdivisions as the original ZTool. Before we start posing, let’s make sure our posed mesh will transfer to the sculpted high-res subdivision levels. When Bind is lit, the mesh will be linked to the ZSphere skeleton and ready to pose. When the rig is completed you can test your bind by clicking the Bind button under Tool ^ Rigging. See the DVD for a video of this process in use.Ĩ. This is a much faster method of laying out the skeleton, but you will still need to move each joint into position from the side view. Move the root ZSphere to the pelvis and start clicking to add ZSphere joints. At the start of the process, after you have clicked Select Mesh under the Rigging menu and loaded the model into the ZSphere, turn off Transparency. There is an alternative method of adding ZSpheres to the rig. If any part of the bind is not working, simply click Bind again to turn it off and reposition your ZSpheres, or add new ones where necessary to improve the bind. The relative placement of the spheres to the mesh helps determine how the mesh bind is executed. You may need to adjust ZSphere placement as you test the rig. Use the Move tool to shift the ZSpheres to fit inside the mesh from all sides (Figure 7.80). These spheres will help capture the vertices of the chest and keep them from being assigned to the joints of the arm, causing the torso to deform when the arms move (Figure 7.79).ħ. To resolve this, add ZSpheres for the ribcage. This is a problem since it means the torso will deform when the arms are moved. This means that the shoulder sphere can potentially be assigned the vertices of the chest and ribcage. As you move each ZSphere joint, the vertices around it move relative to the position of the ZSphere. ![]() This will help capture the vertices of the lower jaw, keeping the face from deforming when the neck is rotated (Figure 7.78)įigure 7.77 Add an extra ZSphere in the shoulder for the clavicle.įigure 7.78 Extra ZSpheres in the head can help it maintain its shape while the neck is rotated.Ħ. You may also need to add a Zsphere branch off the neck toward the chin. This extra ZSphere will help take the place of the clavicles, making it easier to relax and raise the shoulders. Each ZSphere you add will be a joint in the final rig. In the shoulder area, add an extra ZSphere (Figure 7.77). When you are building the ZSphere rig, there are some things you can do to get a better bind.
